While I helplessly lay there like an idiot, waiting for readers to condemn me as useless and weak, I could only watch the two torrents of hellfire sweep toward me. Of course, I tried to scramble to my feet and summon Scutum Sobiescianum to defend myself, but I knew I wouldn't be able to evade in time. At the same time, my Constellation shield got blasted into bits.
Seeing the magnitude of firepower, I realized that even Black Tortoise's water barrier wouldn't be able to protect me from such a powerful spell.
Before I could fully rise to my feet, however, someone tackled me. I found myself hurled out of the way, crashing several meters away from the hellish stream. Even from that distance, I could feel the intense heat from the flames, and my skin began to blister.
